Hello,
I am currently completing some water hammer calculations.
I have a 4" multiphase line flowing at 5MPa. 3MMSCFD of gas and 500bbl/d of condensate will be transported.
I have completed calculations following the method from Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants (see attached).
I have used a simulator to model the system and it has determined the velocities of the gas and liquid within the pipe.
I am not sure if I am completing my calculations properly. What velocity should I be using? I have been using the liquid velocity with the attached method.
Is there any formulas for determining the water hammer in a multiphase line?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
